Rosie delights in the happy children’s faces
Pictured by the waterfall at the end of the hike.
She says they are responding to beauty
As she is likewise responding to their beauty.
Rosie’s name is not a misnomer.
She is such an upbeat person.
For ninety-something years now
A better world’s in birth.
Rosie doesn’t get out much these days
But I can share my photos with her.
She likes landscapes and people best
And shares back her critique of my artistry.
It pleases me when she enjoys my images.
My collection connects me with her.
We are both responding to the beauty around us.
I am happy to know this beautiful person.
